  • Career Day happens this Thursday during Advisory. All 10th & 11th graders, you can find out which room you will be in for that Advisory by looking at the lists on the bulletin board in the main lobby, or on the wall next to the elevator on the 2nd floor. At Advisory time on Thursday, report directly to the room you will be in that day. Attendance will be taken there. Do NOT go to your Advisory, unless it happens to be the room you’re assigned to.
